Permit to Work Coordinator
NRL Limited (Arabelle)
Hinkley Point C
The PTW Engineer is responsible for the effective implementation and coordination of the clients Permit to Work system, ensuring all high-risk activities are controlled through compliant, safe, and auditable processes, in line with internal procedures, site standards, and applicable UK regulations. This includes ownership & implementation of internal Hot Works Permits.
The role ensures that all permit-controlled work is planned, authorised, and executed safely, while acting as a key interface between internal teams and the Principal Contractor's EHS and Permit to Work functions.
Tasks & Responsibilities
The PTW Engineer is responsible for the end-to-end coordination of the Permit to Work system, ensuring all permit-controlled activities-particularly hot work, confined space entry, and electrical isolations-are executed safely and in compliance with both internal procedures and the Principal Contractor's requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
Administer and maintain the PTW system, ensuring clarity, completeness, and traceability of all permits.
Review and validate permit requests, ensuring alignment with approved RAMS and procedures.
Coordinate with Permit Acceptors, Holders, and Supervisors to ensure understanding and compliance with permit conditions.
Oversee the hot work permit process, including pre-task checks, fire watch arrangements, and inspections.
Support the implementation of fire safety controls in accordance with internal Hot Works Procedures and the HPC Construction Fire Safety Standard.
Participate in PTW audits and ensure timely closure of findings and corrective actions.
Act as a liaison between internal teams and the Principal Contractor's Permit Team & EHS Team.
Monitor cross-boundary interfaces and ensure permit coordination across contractors and work zones.
Support training and competency assurance for Permit Acceptors, Holders, and Fire Watchers.
Support Incident Investigations where PTW noncompliance is a factor.
Key Performance Indicators

Specific Functional / Technical Authority
The PTW Engineer holds the authority to immediately stop any work or operation where there is a risk to personnel, equipment, or the environment due to non-compliance with the Permit to Work system or associated safety procedures. This includes situations where:
A valid permit is not in place or has not been properly applied.
Hot work or other high-risk activities are being conducted without appropriate controls.
Fire safety measures, including fire watch or gas testing, are inadequate or absent.
Cross-boundary work interfaces are not properly coordinated or risk-assessed.
The PTW Engineer is empowered to escalate non-conformances, enforce corrective actions, and withhold permit approvals until all safety and procedural requirements are met.
Job Specifics
The PTW Engineer must be technically proficient and experienced in managing Permit to Work systems within complex construction and commissioning environments, particularly in power generation or large infrastructure projects. A strong understanding of electromechanical systems, fire safety, and high-risk work controls-such as hot work, confined space entry, and electrical isolations-is essential.
The role requires hands-on experience with digital PTW platforms, coordination across multiple contractors, and the ability to interpret and apply site-specific procedures, risk assessments, and regulatory standards. Familiarity with local legislation frameworks is expected.
Required Experience and Competency:
Competent in the understanding and application of a PTW process
Understanding on complex construction and commissioning environments, particularly in power generation or large infrastructure projects.
Minimum of 5 years practical work experience in large infrastructure erection, commissioning, operation or maintenance, preferable in electromechanical environments.
For this role you must have evidence of right to work in the UK. As a project, we do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
